Multimodalidade e livro didático digital: uma análise dos objetos educacionais digitais do livro Português: linguagem em conexão

Abstract

This article analyzes the multimodality in digital educational objects (DEOs) of the Portuguese digital textbook: Linguagem em conexão, by Maria das Graças Leão Sette, Márcia Antônia Travalha e Maria do Rozário Starling de Barros. We aimed to show how oral and written modes relate to the semiotic resources in order to contribute to the construction of the meaning of DEOs objects and also examine how multimodality is addressed didactically, that is, worked on reading, grammar and text production. This research is inserted into a qualitative approach, as described and analyzed the DEOs. The method used is the documentary, since we consider the digital textbook a document. As a theoretical basis, we use the studies of Dionísio and Vasconcelos (2013), Oliveira and Dias (2016), Vieira (2015), among others. The results of this study demonstrate that multimodality appears with regard to the editorial graphic appearance, while it is not addressed with regard to reading comprehension, grammar and text production.
